Michael, I believe that Blue Ribbon Soundworks is about to release a new MIDI interface that might be of interest to you. There was a message posted that had specifics, but it may have scrolled off. Possibly Melissa will repost it along with a status update. If you need SMPTE, you might also want to consider the Phantom MIDI interface from Dr. T's, although it is pricey. The A.M.A.S. does have a sound sampler included. It has cables that connect to both the serial (MIDI) and parallel (sampler) ports. It's been a while since I've seen one, but I don't think that it has a pass-through. (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.) Two MIDI IN ports would require either some sort of built-in MIDI MERGE device, or a second MIDI port. (I believe that the new interface from Blue Ribbon has something along these lines.) Two MIDI OUT is not problem. The two MIDI interfaces that normally come to mind are the MIDI Gold and the ECE MIDI interface. It is possible to build a converter that fits inside a gender-changer to make your existing MIDI interface usable. (I ended up doing it myself when I first got my A500 and there were no MIDI interfaces available for it at the time.) Hope this helps, 8) David
